Brief Summary:
The objectives of this study are to study the effect of formal exercise training on motor function and overall physical fitness in children with arthritis A 12-week comprehensive exercise program will be used Formal exercise training will be compared to Qi gong
Detailed Description:
Childhood arthritis is a common and often debilitating disease Children with arthritis are less active than their peers and consequently they often have poor physical fitness This study follows up our pilot study in which we showed that exercise training can be safely carried out in children who have arthritis
We plan to randomly assign 80 children with arthritis to one of two groups The experimental group undergoes a vigorous exercise training program consisting of twelve weekly supervised sessions as well as twice weekly at home sessions using an exercise video The control group also has twelve supervised sessions and two home sessions However their exercises are non-strenuous based on Qi gong All children have comprehensive fitness testing before and after the training at the exercise lab at the Hospital for Sick Children
If we show that fitness exercise leads to improved motor function and improved ability to carry out activities of daily living then we will change the way in which we provide therapy for childhood arthritis We hope that this study will lead to an improved quality of life for children with arthritis
